Cloud Security
CSPM and workload protection across AWS, Azure and GCP — misconfiguration detection, least-privilege IAM remediation, encryption-at-rest validation and runtime threat defence. Covers the shared-responsibility slice your provider does not secure for you.
Overview
Moving workloads to the cloud does not make them immune to the threats that existed on-premise — it just moves the attack surface to a different place. Cloud Security provides the controls your cloud environments need — workload protection, posture management, identity governance, data security, and compliance monitoring — across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Your cloud team gets the agility of infrastructure-as-code, and your security team gets the visibility and control to enforce policies without slowing down deployments.
Clevertek scopes every engagement to your environment — capacity, sites, compliance and support model — so you get a tailored plan rather than a fixed SKU. Pricing is quote-only, and our solutions architects will work through your requirements before any proposal.
Our approach
We assess your cloud environments against industry benchmarks (CIS, NIST, SOC 2) and deploy a stack of cloud-native and third-party security controls tailored to your architecture. This includes CSPM for posture management, CWPP for workload protection, CIEM for identity governance, and cloud DLP for data security. We integrate security scanning into your CI/CD pipelines for shift-left vulnerability detection, and provide continuous compliance monitoring against your chosen framework. Your cloud deployments stay fast; your security team stays informed.
Why work with us
Multi-cloud coverage — AWS, Azure, GCP
Consistent security controls across all three major cloud providers — unified policy framework, single dashboard, cross-cloud compliance reporting.
CSPM for posture management
Continuous assessment against CIS benchmarks, NIST 800-53, and SOC 2. Misconfigurations detected and remediated before they are exploited.
CWPP for workload protection
Agentless and agent-based workload protection across VMs, containers, and serverless functions — vulnerability scanning, runtime protection, and file integrity monitoring.
CI/CD security integration
Infrastructure-as-code scanning, container image scanning, and application security testing integrated into your deployment pipelines — shift-left without slowing releases.
CIEM for identity governance
Cloud infrastructure entitlement management — right-sizing permissions, detecting unused roles, and enforcing least-privilege access across cloud environments.
Cloud DLP and data classification
Data classification, discovery, and DLP policies for data stored in cloud object storage, databases, and SaaS applications — automated, policy-based.
Key benefits
What this solution delivers for your business.
Prevent cloud misconfiguration incidents
CSPM detects and alerts on misconfigurations — open S3 buckets, overly permissive security groups, unencrypted databases — before attackers find them.
Container and serverless security
Image scanning, runtime protection, and vulnerability management for containers and serverless functions — security that keeps pace with ephemeral workloads.
DevSecOps without slowing developers
Security scanning integrated into CI/CD pipelines — vulnerabilities detected in staging, not production. Developer-friendly output with fix recommendations.
Least-privilege identity enforcement
CIEM identifies over-permissioned roles, unused credentials, and cross-account access risks — right-size permissions without breaking existing workflows.
Consolidated compliance reporting
Single compliance dashboard covering AWS, Azure, and GCP against your chosen framework — SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or industry-specific standards.
Cost-efficient security operations
Automated policy enforcement and continuous monitoring reduce the manual effort required to maintain cloud security posture across multi-cloud environments.

Where it helps
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
Multi-cloud enterprise
Security team needs consistent visibility and policy enforcement across AWS, Azure, and GCP — unified dashboard, consistent controls, cross-cloud compliance reporting.
Cloud-native startup
Rapidly deploying containers and serverless workloads on cloud infrastructure — security scanning integrated into CI/CD from the start.
Regulated industry cloud migration
Financial services or healthcare migrating workloads to the cloud — compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2 requires continuous cloud security monitoring and documentation.
Questions buyers actually ask
Do I need cloud security if I already have network security?
Yes. Cloud security covers different attack surfaces — misconfigured storage, over-permissioned IAM roles, vulnerable container images, and insecure infrastructure-as-code — that network security does not address.
Is this agentless or agent-based?
CSPM and CIEM are agentless — they use cloud provider APIs for assessment. CWPP offers both agentless scanning (via API snapshots) and agent-based runtime protection. The right mix depends on your workload types.
Can this integrate with my existing SIEM?
Yes. Cloud security alerts and findings are forwarded to your SIEM via API, syslog, or webhook. We support Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, and standard formats.
How long does initial deployment take?
Initial CSPM assessment is live within days of providing cloud read-access. Full deployment — CWPP, CIEM, CI/CD integration, and DLP — takes 3-6 weeks depending on the number of accounts and workload types.
